@BeAware What I settled on is two accounts - one here (still my main one) which is duplicated over to BlueSky, and one that's ACTUALLY on BlueSky.
The one on BlueSky is basically a carnival barker - it lets me follow people who aren't on here and gives me a direct way to (repeatedly) advocate to them that they should at least follow my shadow account, that way they can see the sort of nonsense I'm up to.
It's dumb, but it does work.
